Hydro boost, finicky little sucker. Went exploring yesterday after spending the weekend doing caretaker chores for my wife. Seems her gallbladder didn't care that I had plans on my days off. Actually worked out nicely since I slept in and didn't go exploring Thursday morning as planned. By the time I was ready she was throwing up from the pain. Short version, ER trip, overnight stay and removal.
Back to the dirt road trip. The steering assist went out and came back. Scary!
